IMPROVEMENT IN REIN AND WHIP HOLDER.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 212,231, dated February 11, 1879 application filed February 15, 1878.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, JOHN JOHNSTON, of the village of Iona, in the county of Elgin, in the Province of Ontario, Canada, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Combined.

. B is the rein-holder, hung on a bolt, 0. Teeth are worked on the lower end of the holder B, t

in order to give a firm gripe. The holder B is raised by drawing the reins forward against the side of the holder, and when so raised are laid upon the plate D. The holder falling on them at once gripes and hold them in place. D is the toothed plate upon which the holder B works. E E are the lugs by which the device is fixed to its place. F is a portion of the frame, forming a bracket to support the plate D. H H is the whip-holder.

My device is intended to be secured to the dash-board of any buggy or vehicle.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The combined rein and whip holder, composed of vertical frame or standard A E E, and horizontal plate D, tongue B, with serrated lower face, pivoted in a vertical position to the top of the frame, which tongue, with the serrated plate D of the frame, forms the reinholder, and whip holder or sockets H H, secured to the central and lower portion of the frame, forming a part thereof, and on the opposite side from the holder B D, all as and for the purposes described.

JOHN JOHNSTON.
